[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I would focus on fit. If your kid is someone who will thrive almost anywhere, JMU could be great choice. The kids we know there (or recent grads) are happy and have strong affinity for the university. UVA is great choice too. Good luck to your student![/quote] This. As a parent of a Freshman in college I am seeing the fallout of when kids do not pick schools that are good fits. We know many kids already transferring after their first year because the college wasn't a good fit. [b]UVA and JMU are very different in terms of campus size, feel, student body. [/b] Go tour when classes are in session, start following social media accounts. Let your child pick based on where they're excited to go, what is a good fit. Then they're more likely to stay. Fit matters.[/quote] They're actually not very different at all...?[/quote]
